This project is contributing to the ability of Cambodian organizations and institutions delivering programs in food security, health and human resource development to manage the development of their communities. Although project activities take place mainly in the province of Pursat, the program works at both provincial and national levels. Promoting networking and increasing awareness in Canada of issues facing Cambodia is also an important part of the project. Ensuring gender equity continues to be a significant crosscutting theme. This focus is especially evident in the credit component, where 60 percent of borrowers are women.

OBS

Ce projet entend les organisations et les institutions cambodgiennes qui mettent en œuvre des programmes de sécurité alimentaire, de santé et de développement des ressources humaines à gérer le développement de leurs communautés. Bien que les activités menées dans le cadre de ce projet se déroulent surtout dans la province de Pursat, ce programme fonctionne également à l'échelon national. Le soutien à l'établissement de réseaux et la sensibilisation des Canadiens aux problèmes qui connaît le Cambodge constituent des volets importants du projet. L'égalité entre les sexes reste un axe d'action majeur, surtout dans le volet crédit, où 60 p. 100 des emprunteurs sont des femmes.

The Anti-Poverty Approach. Anti-poverty is the second WID [Women in Development] approach, the "tone down" version of equity, introduced from the 1970s onwards. Its purpose is to ensure that poor women increase their productivity. Women's poverty is seen as the problem of underdevelopment, not of subordination. It recognizes the productive role of women, and seeks to meet practical gender needs to earn an income, particularly through small-scale income-generating projects. It is most popular with NGOs [non-governmental organizations].

[...] a mediados de la década del 70, las promotoras de la estrategia "Mujer en Desarrollo" [...] destacaron el aporte que las mujeres podrían hacer con su trabajo productivo al alivio de la pobreza de sus hogares afectados por la crisis económica. Este planteamiento dio lugar al "enfoque anti-pobreza" de las políticas dirigidas a las mujeres [...] concretado en la puesta en marcha de pequeños proyectos generadores de ingresos.

The Equity Approach. Equity is the original "WID" [women in development] approach, introduced within the 1976-85 UN [United Nations] Women's Decade. Its purpose is to gain equity for women in the development process. Women are seen as active participants in development. It recognizes women's triple role and seeks to meet strategic gender needs through direct state intervention, giving political and economic autonomy to women, and reducing inequality with men. It challenges women's subordinate position, has been criticized as Western feminism, is considered threatening and is unpopular with governments.

Efficiency is the third and now predominant WID [Women in development] approach, particularly since the 1980s debt crisis. Its purpose is to ensure that development is more efficient and effective through women's economic contribution. Women's participation is equated with equity for women. It seeks to meet practical gender needs while relying on all of women's three roles and an elastic concept of women's time. Women are seen primarily in terms of their capacity to compensate for declining social services by extending their working day.
